The “jobs” line is actually flat, with a few bumps up, not what we need, but not depicted accurately, per usual. Now if investors and “business” would use some of their profits to invest in jobs and infrastructure improvements, here at home, maybe that “free market” could free up some parts of the economy other than their own profit margins??
Chrysler sales up 38%, Ford and GM also much improved (around 18%), so somebody IS buying again, and “North American” vehicles.(dahawk) The problem of course HAS long been the export of jobs, meaning nobody here is making enough (like those “punitive” union wages) to buy products made here, or even from China. But, if the economy is actually so bad (no it ain’t good) how are all the advertisers managing to pay for those ads? Cars, toilet soap, lingerie, jewelry- all being advertised heavily, and apparently sold- so as the Dow is again over 11,000, exactly how bad are things, really?? For whom the bell tolls, of course for the wealthy it is the dinner bell at the “pig slop inn”.

There should be an elephant in the back ground in a cheerleader uniform yelling “I hope he fails! I hope he fails! I hope he fails! I hope he….”

So they won’t use stimulus anymore, so what is the 3 billion more called.
